A 31-year-old man from Lancaster was killed in a hit-and-run collision in Palmdale on Friday afternoon, September 19, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 5:10 p.m. near Avenue N and 22nd Street West.
A 25-year-old man driving a 2008 Mercedes-Benz westbound on Avenue N attempted to pass another vehicle using the north shoulder at high speed. He lost control, crossed into the eastbound lanes, and collided with a 2021 Lexus IS before striking a 2022 Honda HR-V. Debris also damaged a 2019 Honda Accord. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
The at-fault driver, identified as 25-year-old K. Littiz, and his 22-year-old passenger, K. Wright, both from Compton, initially fled the scene but were later arrested. Investigators believe drug impairment was a factor in the fatal collision.
Three additional victims were hospitalized at Antelope Valley Medical Center with injuries ranging from moderate to severe, including a 32-year-old man from Palmdale. Both Littiz and Wright were booked at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station. Authorities continue to investigate the collision.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
